Today we had an 11.5 mile (18km) walk around Lake Bohinj and the surrounding area. Whilst perhaps not as scenically breathtaking as Lake Bled, from a biodiversity point of view Bohinj seemed much more interesting and wild to me..
Botanically Bohinj was outstanding today, with many species that I've not seen anywhere else so far on this holiday, including various species of orchid, dwarf masterwort and Sternberg's pink.
Bird highlights included a flying nutcracker and a hawfinch.
Viper's-bugloss and my finger. One day I'll get round to editing it out.
Martagon lilly.
Butterfly orchid.
Yellow betony.
Common spotted orchid.
